In-demand Napoli striker Edinson Cavani has admitted that it would be extremely difficult to turn down the chance to join the likes of Chelsea and Real Madrid this summer.
Cavani is the subject of fierce interest from the pair, while Manchester City have also been linked with launching a swoop for the Uruguayan, although Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis recently confirmed the Citizens are reluctant to meet the player’s €63m release clause.
Now though Cavani, who scored 29 goals in Serie A last season, has dropped his biggest hint yet that he is very much open to a departure.
Speaking about clubs interested in him, such as Chelsea and Real Madrid, he was quoted as saying by Voetbal Primeur: "Let’s be honest, who can say no to being with such clubs?

"However, there is nothing official", he continued.
"All I know about my transfer is that there is nothing concrete to report.
"Naturally it is great to be so sought after."
Napoli have stuck firmly to the stance that any club wanting to sign Cavani must activate his €63m release clause.
It remains to be seen if any side will offer the required amount or whether Napoli will have a change of heart as the summer progresses.
